Tells you how much the BMW deppreciates. You never included how expensive the BMW is to service including the Life and cost of those BMW batteries. If wasn't the BMW one would call a collectable. It's hard to believe one can purchase a 10 year old hybrid for $30000 unless it's because it was a failure that tells me to avoid that Awd BMW. Your tester is a base $40,000 mustang likely with 317 gears. Regular exhaust and base tires and interior. Here's the Hugh issue with the BMW I8. Most say that the new $160,000 BMW i8 was a failure for BMW because it didn't excel in either performance or eco-friendliness, and it lost half its value in its first year: The 1st year of ownership. That sucks.

I see comments about pricing it at 1/3. It’s highly likely that it cost BMW more than that to produce it!! 😂😂 are they to increase losses? That’s all they would be doing if they price it below theirs costs to produce,,,,. They would be bankrupt in a short while with that business model. You guys throw out these numbers without even thinking about the costs to produce these cars. The technology the I8 had 10 years ago was highly innovative and expensive as h*ll!! It’s much cheaper now, so you can’t compare it to today’s similar vehicles. The I8 was a bespoke vehicle, meaning there was not a lot of carry over from other BMWs they could use to cut costs. I just don’t get how these hypothetical numbers can be pulled out of thin air! 😂😂.

Very true. A lot of misdirected hate towards the car. BMW obviously knew what they were doing and they certainly could have made it more powerful had they wanted to, but that wasn’t the point. Part of me is kind of glad that it was misunderstood because it allowed me to buy one 7 years ago at half price with only 5,000 miles on it. It’s a wonderful car. You can glide around town in electric mode and then go into sport mode and it becomes a different car. It may not be supercar fast, but it is not slow. The electric torque delivery makes it feel quite quick. I traded in an F10 M5 with 200 more horsepower, but the i8 feels quicker. Plus I got about 18 mpg in the M5. In the i8 I get close to 50.

@TheFastLaneCar- There should be no surprise, that a $150,000 vehicle, has a better interior, vs a $50,000 vehicle. To calculate power to weight more accurately, tq has to be included. Example: If the BMW has a combined Hp of 357, & combined Tq. Of 535, add together, then divide. So 892 divided by 2= 446 combined power output average, divided by weight. Then the mustang's 486 Hp, & 415 Tq.= 901 divided by 2= approx. the same @ 450.5 combined power output average, ( @ sea Level ), not to mention its 200 Lbs. heavier, + Rwd, vs Awd. I wonder how close these 2 vehicles would be in a 1/4 mile drag race, @ sea Level, on a properly prepped drag racing surface? I was surprised that the mustang had a shorter stopping distance. I was NOT surprised that the mustang sounded so much better. Great video. P.s. I just seen some drag racing video's showing a 2015 BMW i8, and a 2024 mustang Gt, 5.0 Liter, w/10 speed, ran @ the same Atco dragstrip.

I find it funny the reason I know about the i8 before it even came out is because the letter I in the number eight are very close together on a keyboard, and I was just randomly mashing the keyboard after BMW and input it i8 on accident and boy it was a Happy accident because that thing was cool

$50k for that 3 cyl power car is way too much. 😂 Another $50k in repairs will follow soon. Its an old BMW afterall.

I remember the reviews for the i8 saying the factory tires really let it down. It had Bridgestone ecopias or something. Does that one have better rubber on it? I wonder if the mods for the mini would work on the i8.

i8 looks cool and it's pretty quick but at 10 years old, how much longer will the battery pack last? How much would it cost to replace? I'll take the Mustang.

Do you wonder how hard that is on the engine and transmission flooring it in multiple drag races?

Considering the Mustang is handicapped by elevation and is stock, I'm sure the transmission is fine. As for the i8, it has 2 electric motors and a turbo 3... the transmission is fine here as well, lol

Highway fuel economy? It doesn't matter. The wallet feels average fuel economy across the life of ownership, the highway figure meant nothing.

People were disappointed with the i8's performance because it was the price of a 911 Turbo. Not that the performance was outright bad. Just not good for $150K.

Pretty sure the i8 was never considered a supercar. 3 cylinder engine and less than 400hp in 2015? Nah. Looks great though
